Sorry, but it's very common to not feel like you have had a fill for the first couple of fills. Try to get another one as soon as your doctor will allow it.

i can eat way more then a cup of food

Work with your band & eat only one cup of food every 3-4 hours, until you can get to restriction. You & your body will get use to it. :thumbup:

Choopie,

You're not alone. I was banded on 07/02, and just had my first fill 08/14 and have zero restriction. I can eat WAY more than I should and having the will power only gets me so far. Hey, if we all had SO much will power, we wouldn't need the band... I am going on Thursday this week for my second fill and I am praying for some restriction. I have lost a total of 12 pounds,but that was 2 weeks pre op and one week post off... I haven't lost anything the past few weeks and it sucks. Well, I also twisted my knee two weeks ago and haven't been able to even take a walk outside let alone swim or bike...

I wold request another fill ASAP if I were you!!

Hang in there girls. You will be able to eat more than 1 cup of food before you are restricted. It will get there and you will be happy and healthy and skinny!!! Give the band a chance to do the work for you!!

Don't get discouraged, I went thru that as well. I had band placed June 4th, 2008 and 1st fill .5cc July 14th and felt no restriction!!! A few weeks went by and funny enough the restriction started but I just had a 2nd fill 1.5cc Aug. 25th, 2008 and I will keep you updated on my restriction b/c I am on liquids at the moment!!

thank you so much for the advice i love this site i am going to call my dr cause she told me to come bak in one month but i dont think i can hold off that long ill keep you guys informed thanks
